  Does power corrupt?

  by sleepy in

  .

  most of the people i knew as witnesses were nice people with genuine motives.. in fact those with obvious personnallity flaws, would not , in my congregation anyway , be made servants or elders.. but i wonder did the postion attained in the org actually change the people who were chosen?.

  does the extra respect , power and aurthority over others cause changes in a person makeup they can not help?.

  YES.

  Strong legs that can carry wealth and power (Dutch expression). Which means most people will be corrupted by power.

  Can't imagine it. Not unless he'll take back his words in those two fine books of his.

  A Quartet Of Questions For You Know...

  given your reaction to mr. andersons letter of resignation recently posted to this board, which seemed sympathetic, i would like to ask four questions of you, which of course you are at liberty not to answer.

  1 ) how do you personally feel about the fact that the wts is now moving to disfellowship mr. anderson for writing that letter?.

  2) if mr. anderson were to begin posting to this board, how would you view him?.

  You Know,

  This is an honest question. Why does God allow bad shepherds? I do not understand that. The fact that such outrages are occurring, whereby God's sheep are being abused and stumbled out of the organization by abusive shepherds, far from proving that we are not Jehovah's organization, in fact proves the very opposite. I can't see the logic, even with you bible quote, I cant see it..

  Just to add, I am not ashamed to cry in public. It is just that when a person wants me to cry, I hide it.

  But I'll cry whenever I feel the need. I have let the tears run for an hour at an airport once...

  And a good cry in the arms of someone who loves you is quit a relief.

  Depends on who makes me cry. But I usually just hide it, show a poker face and walk away. But if I want to make the person feel guilty, I'll show my tears.

  How would you LOVE to do it?

  if one wanted to be creative in disassociating one's-self..just how would you love to do it?

  i think it would be a riot to hire a few stripping telegram singers to sing my letter instead of having it read from the platform..

  anyone else?

  Hehe, When I had my meeting in the Kingdom Hall, I was pretty nervous about it. And my uncle just reassured me, saying that they had no power over me. And then he gave me this BRILLIANT advice. He said "what you must do is put some condoms along with your bible. And when they ask you to read a few scriptures with them, just let those condoms conveniently drop out".

  God, I wish I'd done that, would have been hilarious.
